Custom Enclosure / Frame advice

[CAC]

I have just finished my design for custom enclosure for 18x10 screen from Carl's. Will be using 1' EMT and wanted to make sure I am not missing anything.

Anything I should pay more attention about? I will cover all the EMTs with foam so that it wont shoot the ball back to me for sure!

Did you get the DIY package from Carl’s or just the screen? If not, I would extend the cage to 5-6 feet just to have that coverage

Gunghogolf.com has some excellent schematics.
You will need to make sure you know how you are attaching your screen to your cage. You will need a foot of space behind as well. The conduit and connectors will add to your finished dimensions unless you account for it in your cutting.

Padding is also thoroughly discussed on this site.

Netting/ Valence / Baffles for the roof protection....

With 18ft of span you will need to prevent the frame from sagging in the middle even with having the connector. Possibly having support from the ceiling to the top bar or inserting a thin wood dowel (.I.e, broomstick) into the metal conduit and connector in the middle might also help keep it straight.
